Make: Yellow Jacket VTOL gunship
Dimensions: length 12 m; wingspan 18.1 m; depth 5.4 m
Maximum airspeed: 604 kph
Consumables: 14 hours fuel
Crew: 1 pilot, 1 co-pilot/gunner, 1 navigator
Passengers: none

Overview: The Yellow Jacket gunship is an excellent VTOL design. Although it looks more like a fighter-craft of the late 21st century, it performs much, much better. Vectored thrust nozzles decorate the under belly, allowing the plane to move in literally any direction, even diagonally.

Make: Skytaxi dropship
Dimensions: Length 8.3 m; wingspan 7.4 m; depth 2.2 m
Maximum acceleration (linear, in open space): 2,000G
Maximum airspeed: 512 kph
Consumables: 10 hours fuel (approximately)
Crew: 1 pilot, 1 co-pilot/ gunner
Passengers: 8 fully armored soldiers and their equipment
Armament: twin light gattling cannons (nose)
Cost: $20 m

Overview: The Skytaxi is a new, high-tech design straight off the drawing board. It uses new, improved composite armor to give the hull twice the strength that its predecessor, the Halcyon gunship, has. Although it is slower and lighter armed than said rival, it can slip behind enemy lines easily and deliver a commando squad without anyone the wiser. The passengers ride in the sponsons located above the landing gear, and exit through ramps in the back.

Make: Stingray gunship
Dimensions: length 7 m; wingspan 2.3 m; depth 1.9 m
Maximum acceleration (linear, in open space): 2,400G
Maximum airspeed: 613 kph
Consumables: 25 hours fuel (approximately)
Crew: 1 pilot, 1 co-pilot/ gunner
Passengers: none
Armament: 2 twin-linked heavy autocannons (wingtips); 2 modular hard points (under wings)
Cost: $19 m

Overview: The Stingray gunship is an excellent light support craft. Armed with the devastating heavy autocannon, it can hole an MBT in only a few shots, and the hard points can mount nearly any kind of weapon, fuel tank, or sensor pod on the market today. Vectored thrust engines allow extreme maneuverability, and one-time use retro rockets located above the engines in the rear allow the gunship to break orbit easily.

Video: 360 degree view (http://www.3drt.com/3dm/tank-04/tank-04.htm)
Make: Jagerman Crusader ABT (Automated Battle Tank)
Dimensions (hull only): length 9.3 m; width 4.2 m; height 4 m
Maximum land speed: 60 kph
Consumables: fuel for 4,000 km of smooth terrain
Crew: none
Passengers: excluding anyone riding on the outside, none
Armament: 1 105mm smooth-bore cannon (turret mounted)
Cost: $12 m

Overview: The Jagerman Crusader was built with cost in mind. Instead of armoring the entire tank with expensive, modern plates, parts of the tank are fitted with cheap, easily replaced reactive tiles. To augment this defense, it also carries a medium-grade phased shield. Because this tank does not have as much protection as other, more expensive vehicles, a computer was chosen to pilot it instead of a living thing. Extra shells for the old 105mm smooth-bore can be hand-loaded through a hatch in the top of the turret.

Make: Hawthorn AAGP (Automated Ambulatory Gun Platform)
Dimensions (including gun): length 8.1 m; width 1.4 m; height (with legs fully extended) 10.6 m
Maximum land speed: 40 kph
Consumables: fuel for 4,300 km of smooth terrain
Crew: none
Passengers: none
Armament: 1 110mm smooth-bore cannon (turret), 1 light gattling cannon (pivot mount, front), 4 medium autocannons (upper turret)
Cost: $16 m

Overview: The Hawthorn AAGP is a relatively inexpensive walker designed to escort convoys through rough terrain. It carriers a 110mm cannon for dealing with vehicles, a light gattling cannon for infantry, and 4 autocannons to deal with aircraft. Ammunition is a bit of a problem for this machine, so an ammo carrier is essential for prolonged journeys.

Make: Ripper medium support armor
Dimensions: length 1.9 m; width 1.7 m; height 2.6 m
Maximum land speed: 42 kph
Consumables: fuel, water, and food for 3 weeks continuous operation
Crew: 1 pilot/ gunner
Passengers: none
Armament: 2 medium gattling cannons (arms)
Cost: $15 m

Overview: The Ripper is a unique way of boosting the combat effectiveness of any trooper. The unit’s armor is heavy for its size, and the twin gattling cannons can slaughter infantry, destroy light vehicles, and even damage heavy tanks.

Make: Sabertooth heavy support armor
Dimensions (excluding gun): length 1.7 m; width 1.8 m; height 4 m
Maximum land speed: 51 kph
Consumables: 2 weeks food, fuel, and water
Crew: 1 pilot/ gunner
Passengers: none
Armament: 1 heavy coilgun (right arm), 1 multi-missile launcher pack (left shoulder)
Cost: $20 m

Overview: The Sabertooth heavy support armor is the best single-man anti-armor weapon on the market. Its heavy coilgun can gut most any tank it will meet in one shot, and the multi-missile launcher will easily deal with lighter vehicles and slow aircraft.

Make: Dirt Dragon air lifter
Dimensions: length 14.2 m; wingspan 8 m; depth 2.5 m
Maximum airspeed: 400 kph
Consumables: 12 hours fuel
Crew: 1 pilot, 1 co-pilot, 1 loadmaster
Passengers: none
Armament: none
Cost: $13 m

Overview: Designed to transport both civilian and military cargoes, the Dirt Dragon performs admirably at both. The massive grappling hook slung under the belly can grasp nearly anything, and the four massive turbofan engines can pick up almost anything that isn’t nailed down, and a lot that is.

Images: 1 (http://photobucket.com/albums/a210/Zipline/AAV%20walker/?action=view&current=AAV.jpg)
Make: AAV (Automated Ambulatory Vehicle)
Dimensions: length 2.7 m; width 2.1 m; height 6 m
Maximum land speed: 45 kph
Consumables: fuel for 3,100 km
Crew: none
Passengers: none
Armament: 1 heavy water-cooled gattling cannon (torso), 2 medium water-cooled gattling cannons (arms)
Cost: $12 m

Overview: The AAV is a cheap, extremely durable walker designed to augment infantry formations. Although it has legs, the lack of serious knee-joints keeps the AAV from being a major off-road vehicle. Because the guns are water-cooled, they can keep firing for hours at a time before having to switch barrels.

...I'm not sure what you meant by "No detailed looks," so I will give two possible replies.

1) (No detailed looks, as in they lack detail) Yea, they do. Mostly I think their low price and snazzy pictures (I especially like the Skytaxi dropship's 9th photo. Its from a rather awsome movie I am unable to upload) will casually glaze over that fact ;-).

2) (No detailed looks, as in you didnt have time to look at them thouroghly) Well, I hope you get the chance later. They are really detailed!

lol, have a good night (or day, depending on your timezone).

OOC:That movie wouldn't happen to be called *cough* Final Fantasy, would it? I seem to remember those in that movie... Or something.

IC:
We will place an order for 1,000 of the cheap-as-dirt Yellow Jacket VTOL Gunships. $15 Billion has been wired, have a nice day.

IC: Order confirmed. Shipments will begin immediatly.
